The Dark Side of the Ancestral Temple (First Update)
Chapter 1294 The Dark Side of the Ancestral Temple (First Update)
Without Yue Tianzun's lantern, even with the teleportation magic, it would take them several days to return to the Daheimu Shiwanhei Mountain. Qin Mu simply found a random sacred mountain to live in.
The Taishi in the egg taught the Taishi Dao that he had comprehended, saying: "Without completely absorbing the power of the Taishi Mine, even my understanding of my own Dao is incomplete. I am a god born from the Taishi Dao, but I am not the Taishi Dao. Only when I completely absorb the power of the Taishi Mine and achieve true transcendence can I be considered the true Taishi. Otherwise, I am no different from other ancient gods."
Even so, the Tai Shi Dao that Tai Shi comprehended in the egg was not comparable to the Tai Shi Dao that Qin Mu figured out by himself. Qin Mu had not even completely sorted out the runes of the Tai Shi Dao alone.
The Tai Shi Rune he comprehended using the Bu Yi Magical Rune was only one third of the real Tai Shi Rune, and there were also many errors in it.
Only after the teachings of Taishi in the egg was he able to correct these mistakes.
The Way of Tai Shi is extremely profound, difficult to comprehend, and obscure. Even if Qin Mu activated the Way in his dreams and used countless selves to comprehend it, progress was slow.
Entering the Tao in a dream, the dream is transformed into countless dream worlds. There are countless Qin Mu in the dream world, using his intelligence to comprehend the difficult problems.
This is Qin Mu's invincible method, and even Lord Brahma Buddha cannot envy or learn it.
However, he encountered difficulties when trying to comprehend the Dao of Tai Shi.
The most terrifying thing when comprehending the Dao of Tai Shi is becoming empty.
If one inadvertently enters the state of enlightenment, one's body and soul will often be transformed into the Taishi state, which is tangible but not substantial, with only form but no real body.
Even the primordial spirit, primordial energy, consciousness and thoughts will all be virtualized, leaving only their form but not their substance!
Even the spiritual consciousness will be wiped out!
It is not easy for matter to restrain the way of spiritual consciousness, and it is not easy for the way of Tai Shi to restrain matter. Therefore, the way of spiritual consciousness has no power to resist the way of Tai Shi.
His dream worlds were destroyed in this strange enlightenment and turned into nothingness. In the end, he could not even wake up from these dreams, and he could not take back his spiritual consciousness!
He couldn't help but feel afraid. If his true body were to comprehend it, it would probably turn into nothingness, a vague being with no knowledge, no desires, and no wants.
He could only rely on slowly exploring and carefully comprehending the Tao in his dreams. Even if he entered the Tao in his dreams, he needed to arrange some dreams in which he did not comprehend the Tai Shi Dao, but instead stayed on the periphery and woke himself up in time to prevent the situation from getting out of control and dragging himself into a state of enlightenment.
He meditated for more than ten days. Although the progress was slow, he gained a lot. Gradually, he figured out some of the mysteries of the Tai Shi Dao.
One day, he was still in a dream, when suddenly, on this bare sacred mountain, traces of tender green began to grow out from the rocks. They were green grass and saplings.
The green became thicker and the saplings grew slowly. Qin Mu sensed something and woke up from his dream immediately.
The Taishi egg was right next to him and it also became alert at this moment. The man and the egg stood on the top of the mountain and looked around. They saw that the trees were gradually getting taller and the grass and trees on the wasteland around the sacred mountain were getting thicker.
The green spread like a plague at a speed visible to the naked eye, extending to both sides of the river and climbing up the mountains.
Thick roots run through the ground, like a dragon twisting its body underground. Occasionally, an extremely thick root breaks through the surface, and then slowly sinks into the ground, hiding its tracks.
"Earth Mother Yuanjun!"
Qin Mu's face was solemn. The evil Mother Earth Yuanjun actually came to the ancestral temple!
Mother Earth Yuanjun has many enemies, but when it comes to the person she hates the most, Qin Mu undoubtedly occupies a place!
“Although her strength is not as strong as before, she turned evil after the battle of Xuandu and devoured the essence of countless gods and demons in Xuandu. I’m afraid her current strength is far superior to mine!”
Qin Mu took a long breath and was about to hide in the void when he suddenly saw the ground at the foot of the mountain shaking slightly. Countless trees on the ground grew wildly, and the vines became thicker and thicker, interweaving and intertwining with the trees like a dragon!
Soon, the hundred-mile forest at the foot of the mountain turned into a grand tree altar!
Qin Mu looked intently and saw that the texture and lines of every leaf on this green altar formed the strange Yuandu Avenue!
And how many leaves make up this altar?
This was the first time he had seen such a complicated altar!
What’s even more bizarre is that what flows through these trees and vines is not water, but divine blood!
The divine blood flowed among the branches, trunks and vines, emitting divine light, making the trees almost transparent and giving the entire altar an eerie atmosphere!
As the divine blood flowed, countless rune textures appeared on the surface of the branches, trunks, and vines. These rune textures became clearer and brighter.
Qin Mu's heart moved slightly, and he immediately put away the Tai Shi Egg and jumped backwards. He instantly disappeared from the sacred mountain and escaped into the void with the Tai Shi Egg.
His attainments in the Taichu Dao were still much stronger than the Taishi Dao, so it was not difficult for his physical body to escape into the void.
Just as he had just escaped into the void, the green altar suddenly cracked open and a woman rose up.
The altar closed, holding the woman in the center of the altar. That woman was none other than the Earth Mother Yuanjun!
However, at this time, Mother Earth Yuanjun had lost all the grace and generosity of the former Mother Earth, and instead was filled with evil spirit and murderous intent.
The blood evil on her body is extremely strong, because too many innocent souls died at her hands.
These dead souls are all gods stationed in Xuandu by the Heavenly Court, but Mother Earth knows nothing about the Great Dao of Youdu, and she has no way to eliminate these evil spirits.
The evil spirit will affect her judgment and thus affect her life.
Mother Earth Yuanjun stood on the altar and immediately began to perform rituals.
Qin Mu hid in the void and observed for a moment. The strength of Earth Mother Yuanjun was far from recovered at this moment. Her combat power should be equivalent to that of a strong man at the Emperor Throne Realm who owned six or seven heavenly palaces. Of course, she was still an ancient god and still possessed a part of her Yuanmu body.
However, her strength cannot be fully measured by the realm of Shenzang Tiangong.
Qin Mu observed carefully and found that the summoning altar of Earth Mother Yuanjun was similar to the summoning altar of the Creator. The two were very similar, but the altar of Earth Mother Yuanjun was more complicated.
"Earth Mother Yuanjun has studied the Yuandu Dao deeply. It should be that the Creator created the summoning altar. Because Earth Mother is an ancient god, she was unable to learn it, but she used the Yuandu Dao to deduce it again."
Just as he thought of this, suddenly there was a flash of light in the sky, and one after another powerful ancient beasts were summoned by her from the other side of the world and descended on the ancestral temple!
The giant beast summoned by Mother Earth Yuanjun before was only a young beast, but the giant beast summoned this time was bigger and more powerful!
"What does Mother Earth want to do?" Qin Mu was puzzled.
At this moment, the sky suddenly became extremely dark. Qin Mu looked up and saw that the sky was covered with huge scales. A head like a dragon was summoned from the back of the world by Mother Earth Yuanjun!
"The three great ancient gods, the mount of the God King Boyang, Long Hun, the overlord who lives in the dark side of the ancestral court, please come from that world!"
As the voice of Mother Earth rang out, the sky became increasingly turbulent. The dragon-headed beast slowly opened its eyes, making the sky incredibly bright, as if two suns had suddenly appeared!
Then, the turbulence in the sky became more intense, and another huge head poked out, followed by the third, the fourth...
Nine heads appeared in a row, filling the sky. The nine heads of Long Hu opened their eyes, and it seemed as if eighteen suns appeared in the sky all of a sudden, scorching the mountains and rivers!
Qin Mu's scalp tingled as he watched, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. "No wonder among the three ancient kings, Boyang is the uncle and Shujun is the uncle. It turns out that Shujun is just the younger brother among the three kings..."
